Gemini Space needs to fix a Pixel home screen issue we’ve had for years

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-02 12:30:46

Joe Maring / Android Authority Thanks to a recent APK teardown, we discovered that Google’s At a Glance feature on Pixel phones is getting a major overhaul. What we know as At a Glance will be rebranded as “Gemini Space,” and with that, Google is also adding more contextual cards to the longstanding widget — including sports scores, birthday reminders, finance updates, and more. From what we’ve seen, Gemini Space aims to show a lot more contextual info than At a Glance currently does, bringing

Google’s reconsidering its approach to Circle to Search within Gemini (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-03 13:29:10

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Circle to Search has been a great tool for working with on-screen content, and Google’s been developing similar solutions across its ecosystem. Earlier this year we first uncovered evidence of a Circle to Search-like feature for Gemini. While still not user-accessible, Google’s been changing how this tool is labeled and what happens once you activate it. Google’s long had a bit of overlap when it comes to all the various services and apps it offers, s

First look at Gemini Space: Google’s Now Bar-like upgrade to Pixel’s At a Glance (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-04 09:03:06

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini Space is an upcoming upgrade to the Pixel’s At a Glance experience. It’s seemingly inspired by Samsung’s Now bar and Now Brief, which show contextual cards on the lock screen and other places. In its current state, Gemini Space displays sports and birthday cards, but finance and Daily Hub features are expected in the future. We’ve previously spotted Google working on a feature called Gemini Space for Pixel devices. Based on the handful of clues

Interview with Google's Android leader Sameer Samat

My conversation with Sameer Samat, Android’s daddy…er…the President of Android Ecosystem at Google, started with him quizzing me. Perhaps he noticed my MacBook Pro or the Apple Watch on my wrist. I did make sure to at least record the interview with the lovely new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 I’m testing, but Samat wanted to understand how and, maybe why, I’m using a Mac. I stammered, unprepared for the interrogation, but Samat wasn’t asking me why I don’t use Android. Instead, he’s curious about t

Rushil Agrawal / Android Authority Ever since ChatGPT started gaining in popularity, every other tech company has been rushing to keep up with its advancements in generative AI. Although some might argue that OpenAI’s chatbot is still on top, the company that I believe has come closest to surpassing it is Google. After Google CEO Sundar Pichai issued a “code red” in December 2022 to meet the threat OpenAI represented, the company has created a powerful, robust, and wide-reaching set of AI-power

Google Gemini flaw hijacks email summaries for phishing

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-04 16:38:00

Google Gemini for Workspace can be exploited to generate email summaries that appear legitimate but include malicious instructions or warnings that direct users to phishing sites without using attachments or direct links. Such an attack leverages indirect prompt injections that are hidden inside an email and obeyed by Gemini when generating the message summary.

Upgrading an M4 Pro Mac mini's storage for half the price

A few months ago, I upgraded my M4 Mac mini from 1 to 2 TB of internal storage, using a then-$269 DIY upgrade kit from ExpandMacMini. At the time, there was no option for upgrading the M4 Pro Mac mini, despite it also using a user-replaceable, socketed storage drive. But the folks at M4-SSD reached out and asked if I'd be willing to test out one of their new M4 Pro upgrades, in this case, upgrading the mini I use at the studio for editing from a stock 512 GB SSD to 4 TB.
